When it comes to finding the right putter, the choices are abundant. Sometimes overwhelmingly so. An area that is commonly overlooked are neck options and hosel design. This can be extremely helpful in both a look that is desired, as well as matching a better fitting option to your stroke, be it more arc or less.
We sat down with Chris Koske from Edel Golf in the THP Tech Studio and walked through the three different neck options available for their EAS putters. How do you know which is right for you? Chris breaks it down while we roll each model in slow motion.
After watching our short video above, which neck option do you think is right for you? Is it due to aesthetics or because it fits your stroke?
For more information on any of the Edel EAS putters and options that exist, check out their website at www.edelgolf.com.
My grip on the putter is where the front hand is cupped a bit – see Zach Johnson. No forward lean.
I use the back set shaft. My instructor told me I am the only student he’s ever fit with that shaft, probably because their forward hand is not cupped but rather, is down the shaft, so that player wants some offset (see Spieth). I don’t aim an offset putter as well acc. to Edel. I do not have a forward press. I do have a slight arc and set up in a Pat O’Brien neutral setup with everything square.
I wonder how many Edel fittings come down to "you fit into it but don’t want it" for that shaft haha – I know I felt that way a bit.
I think generally speaking that is a good idea. Hopefully this helps explain a bit though.
